Week 8

August 17, 2022 By Luisa Matzner

I began an excursion into animation this week! I was assigned to animate the stingers and intro for GOV 312L. Opening After Effects and not knowing what any of the buttons do was certainly a learning experience, but I managed to animate the custom stinger from scratch. Here it is:

The intro was even more daunting, as it had to be longer and more interesting than text appearing in five seconds. I ended up using Premiere Pro, a more familiar video software to me, to animate the intro. I’m really proud of how it turned out. Here it is:

In addition to the animations, I also finished out the course graphics for GOV 312L and worked some more on the French class. That’s it for this week!
